The wheels look great! My buddy had an identical setup a few years back. I've always liked that look.
BTW: Who did your front and rear fascia in black? Been thinking about doing my rear fascia in black but I didnt realize you could do it in the front like that. I really like it.

Everything looks great on your car except your left tips needs a little adjustment.
